A businessman who runs a wholesale clothes business in Jalan Merlimau, lamented the impact on sales."We lost about a million in sales on that day as most of our customers come by during the weekend. source : NST

if you did "a million in sales on that day"and Lulu were to extrapolate it for the year,Lets assume he's closed on Sundays [give him the benefit of the doubt-la...]Lulu's wondering what the factor should be on weekdays. For retail outlets, wild guess 30% of weekend sales.52 Saturdays x RM1mill + 5weekdays x 52 x300K = (wow) 130mil/annum!at 10% PBIT (Lulu just came from a company strategy meeting, so pick up acronyms like this) that's RM13mil!wow! wow! and wow!

This estimation is on the low side of his boast, cos if you think about it, he's a wholesaler, which means that retail outlets buy from him to sell to normal people like you and Lulu. And retail outlets are busy on weekends, meaning they buy from him on weekdays.

either he's making a lot, a lot of money, or it was just a sad, sad MCA boast.

btw, the Bersih march was not a street demoandit was the police roadblocks which caused the massive jam.gosh... disgruntled disoriented businessmen!

on your previous post, YES, they are afraid, VERY VERY AFRAID of us, the Rakyat. That's why one blunder after another, and the more they tell fresh lies to cover old lies, the lies just gets bigger and bigger, and the truth will prevail. IT ALWAYS DO.

Any real Chinese will clarify cause & effectsbefore they project!so they can shoot with perfectand not being directonly in one topicthe Trafficor Demo be specific!How about Policeor Politics?The ELECTION'S & Projects' Magicor women & kids' Panics?

A real Chinese is a human with sympathic and logic!Working with sweat or tear or even blood without magic!When all these lostno one cannot say a wordbut get lost!

Any real Chinese will learnby their ears and eyes.Not only with one ear or one eyeso to know the real to surviveand not relying on lies!

If they care so much on a million?When gone with billionsthat lives the millionsheaded by their traditional political head!Anyone came ahead?

ARE HEADS CLEAR IN THE SHOW? If no million working in the Streetcan you make million off the street?

A Chinese will show wisdom in any floor!Any wisdom in this indoor?Need anyone be toldthat MCA was behind the show?NO Chinese will say they are part of the show!!

Actually the food business along the march route were doing roaring business! Of course, they cannot cone out in a group with placards thanking the Bersih organisers for fear of being sprayed with water cannons.

Also the manufacturers of yellow T shirts never had it so good! They were hoping for more Bersih rallies in the future. Petrol companies were also laughing due to so much of fuel being burnt up in the massive traffic jam.

i believe Bersih only to show their support to the people on how election should be running in the next election, let be gentlemen about it, i don't see any comment from Dr M, i believe he will make a positive impression.
